On a hot summer day, you need to leave your house for 30 minutes. To use the least amount of energy, should you turn off your ai

r conditioning system, turn up the thermostat, or leave it set at your normal temperature?

Leave it at your normal temperate, if you turn it off it'll take more energy for it to cool off when u get back home.

Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Firecrackers A and B = 600 m

Event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes

Event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

Distance of lab partner from cracker A = 300 m

You observe the explosions at the same time

to find:

does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2?

Solution:

Since the lab partner is at 300 m distance from the firecracker A and Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart

So the distance of fire cracker B from the lab partner is:

600 m + 300 m = 900 m

It takes longer for the light from the more distant firecracker to reach so

Let T1 represents the time taken for light from firecracker A to reach lab partner

T1 = 300/c

It is 300 because lab partner is 300 m on other side of firecracker A

Let T2 represents the time taken for light from firecracker B to reach lab partner

T2 = 900/c

It is 900 because lab partner is 900 m on other side of firecracker B

T2 = T1

900 = 300

900 = 3(300)

T2 = 3(T1)

Hence lab partner observes the explosion of the firecracker A before the explosion of firecracker B.

Since event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes and event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

So this concludes that lab partner sees event 1 occur first and lab partner is smart enough to correct for the travel time of light and conclude that the events occur at the same time.

in a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 mm between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/hkm/h and

Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049 $m/s^{2}$ .It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:

(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

$v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\$

Time taken

v-u=at

22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t

t=13.802s

A thin 1.5 mm coating of glycerine has been placed between two microscope slides of width 0.8 cm and length 3.9 cm . Find the fo

Radda [10]

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<h3>Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

m is mass
a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

Can Hotspots can be found at the edges of tectonic plates?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Hot spots don't appear at the barriers of tectonic plates, instead, they originate at hot centres known as mantle plumes. Mantle plumes exist below the tectonic plates and may develop a string of volcanoes on the Earths surface.
